Rainbow Birthday Package

We have a little friend who turned five on St. Patrick's Day so we decided to send her a rainbow package this year. Who wouldn't love a rainbow package??? We included a rainbow My Little Pony, rainbow colored candies, rainbow sunglasses and socks from the Target dollar spot, rainbow colored hair bows, rainbow silly dough, and other fun rainbow finds.
Then I drew her a rainbow label and shipped it off.

Leprechaun House

When Wal-Mart marked the Wilton Gingerbread House kits down to $1.50 I bought up several. It's an easy, quick thing to make for the holidays and the kids love decorating them. The best part? The ones I bought were assembled (no waiting for wall icing to dry) and the icing was in a bag, ready to use (no mixing!). Could it get any easier?

I saved Halloween colorful candy and other random candy in a big ziplock and pull it out for these moments. This time around we divided up the green and red candy it came with and just used the green.
Then we added some green of our own and some rainbow candy we found as well. We even made a pot of gold out of a mini Reese's and some nerds.
I don't claim to be talented enough with icing tips to make this fancy or beautiful AT. ALL. But, it sure is a fun way to fill an afternoon and have some decor for the holidays. And we never eat ours so I don't care that the candy and the house are old.

Spring Snowflakes

So sorry I skipped out on the last few months of Snowflakes for All Seasons. We were getting our house ready to list, listing it, travelling to find a new home and now we're back with nothing to do but wait for the movers (HA! I wish). So, we decided to make St. Patrick's day snowflakes and a few spring ones.

Here's a kite, rainbows and pots of gold (I colored this one) and some shamrocks.
Here's another shamrock and some butterflies and tulips.

Leprechaun Treats

I packaged these little bags up last year and my niece and I drove around on St. Patrick's Day and left them on doorsteps of friends and family. I think most of the adults figured they were from me but the kids had no clue and that's really who the surprise element is for, right? We printed the poem on the computer, added some gold glitter and attached them to little bags of green M&Ms. We thought about using the gold wrapped chocolate coins since they would have looked cuter but M&Ms sure taste better.

I had intentions of doing something creative again this year and it just didn't happen. Three weeks away from delivering a baby just does something to my motivation!
